Redwall: The Graphic Novel

[Matthias720]

Since James Gryphon mentioned this in another topic, I thought is was worth discussing.

How many of you have seen/read the Redwall graphic novel, and what do you think about it?

Personally, I flipped through it at the bookstore; didn't buy it though. Graphic novels aren't exactly my thing, but I think they're a great way to introduce Redwall to a younger audience, and a good incentive for non-readers to check out the series.

On mr. Jacques's Doomwyte tour, i went to where Brian was speaking and watched. Afterwords, there was a little bookstore with some of his books and the graphic novel. I flipped through it but decided not to get it. I felt the original was better

I read it. Once. The graphic novel is interesting, a little. I mean, like mentioned above, it helps introduce younger kids to the series.

Seen pieces of it online to get a feel what it was like, and have passed on it.  It reminds me too much of comic books, and Redwall is far more detailed and worthy of being read in the novel form.

Well, for me, I need to get it...

The trend here seems to be "flipped through it, passed!" I read it a while ago at a library, didn't even need to check it out. I like art and graphic novels, and I also like Redwall, so it was a triple win for me. I haven't run across it at my local bookstores or I'd buy it. I gotta say, it condenses the story even more than the TV series does, but it's not a bad read. Provided you like that sort of thing, of course.

I bought it because it was Redwall. I enjoyed reading it, but for me one of the best things about Redwall is the language - the descriptions of the seasons, the food, and everything else. The graphic novel obviously doesn't have any of that.

Having said that, I really liked the art. I thought it was cute.

I read it once, but I wasn't a big fan of the art style.

I thought the art was quite detailed enough to tell the story.  The only thing I didn't like about the graphic novel was that it condensed the plot quite a bit.

I have it. I think it is pretty good, but there are a few things I thought about in the book which was different to how the illustrator thought of it. For example, Constance pulling the cart. I didn't think she would walk on all fours like a horse, I thought she would pull it with her paws while walking standing up. Most of it is just small things like that though. The drawings are pretty darn good if you ask me.

[Dannflower Reguba]

They included that fact in the book (the original). It said Constance was on all fours!

[Wolfstar]

The first time I saw it was when I was going through the Graphic Novel section of the library and I saw it and read it.  I thought it was good that I read it again.

[WildDoogyPlumm]

I loved it!  I think it would have been interesting to see more of the books in graphic-novel form.

I'll have to check it out

 I read it, and it didnt have the potential that the book has. I enjoyed it, though.
Not worth buying
